we’ve met half a dozen times i know your name i know you don’t know mine but i won’t hold that against you

you come here every friday night i take your order and try to be polite and hide what i’ve been going through

if you looked me right in the eye would see the pain deep inside would you take the time to

[chorus:] tell me what i need to hear tell me that i’m not forgotten show me there’s a god who can be more than all i’ve ever wanted ‘cause right now i need a little hope i need to know that i’m not alone maybe god is calling you tonight to tell me something that might save my life

i’m the pastor at your church for all these years you’ve listened to my words you think i know all the answers

but i’ve got doubts and questions too behind this smile i’m really just like you afraid and tired and insecure

if you look me right in the eye would you see the real me inside would you take the time to

[chorus]

save my life

i am just like everyone jesus i need you, i need your love to save my life
